The brazen daylight hit and run murder of a vivacious stripper leads Private Investigator Joe Copp into the rough and tumble, down-and-dirty, sleazy underbelly of Southern California and on to the deadly vice pits of Honolulu's Chinatown. There, on the dark side of paradise, Copp takes on corrupt politicians, dirty cops, the exploitation of beautiful call girls-all ensnared in a deadly game of sex for power, pleasure and profit.
